The 1965 civil rights act was passed due to widespread Republican support. Southern democrats largely voted against it. Brush up on your history, Bernie.

Yes, but in 1965, most Republicans were of the “Rockerfeller wing” of the party, the ideological forebearers of today’s RINOs.
Of course Goldberg ignores the principled reason for what conservative GOP opposition there was at the time (e.g. Goldwater) which we now see was well-founded since the extension of the same principles are being used to persecute Christian business owners for declining to provide services for homosexual “weddings”: that elements of the law essentially instituted involuntary servitude by denying business owners the right to refuse service.

In all due fairness,
"The big issue was civil rights and liberals were on the right side of that one while conservatives – yes, mostly Democrats from the South – were on both the wrong side of history and the wrong side of decency.He did say it was dems who were against it.
